Artist Bob Dylan
i'm just average
common too
i'm just like him
the same as you
i'm everybody's brother and son
i ain't different from anyone
it ain't no use a-talking to me
it's just the same as talking to you
i was shadow-boxing earlier in the day

gonna knock him clean right out of his spleen
well
i don't know
but i've been told
the streets in heaven are lined with gold
i ask you how things could get much worse
if the russians happen to get up there first
wowee! pretty scary!
now
i'm liberal
but to a degree
i want ev'rybody to be free
but if you think that i'll let barry goldwater
move in next door and marry my daughter
you must think i'm crazy!
i wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in cuba
well
i set my monkey on the log
and ordered him to do the dog
he wagged his tail and shook his head
and he went and did the cat instead
he's a weird monkey
very funky
i sat with my high-heeled sneakers on
waiting to play tennis in the noonday sun
i had my white shorts rolled up past my waist
and my wig-hat was falling in my face
but they wouldn't let me on the tennis court
i gotta woman
she's so mean
she sticks my boots in the washing machine
sticks me with buckshot when i'm nude
puts bubblegum in my food
she's funny
wants my money
calls me honey
now i gotta friend who spends his life
stabbing my picture with a bowie-knife
dreams of strangling me with a scarf
when my name comes up he pretends to barf
i've got a million friends!
now they asked me to read a poem
at the sorority
